Mormon Awakenings: Episode 030: Conflict Ain’t So Bad

Jack Naneek addresses conflict and submission. Mormons love to submit, but, in so doing, they often sidestep great energy that comes from tension and conflict. Where should they draw the line? That might just be up to each individual to decide, based on their own experiences.

Once again a pure genius enlightened perspective.
Channeling the power of conflict to create something good.
Learning to use our own inner authority without self-deception and abuse least God not love us for doing so, heaven forbid he be so shallow.

Yet the other day I was struggling with my teenage daughter to be more submissive and grateful, mentioning that we don’t appreciate certain tones and attitudes that come from her while we are just as imperfect if not more so than her ourselves.

Thanks for this, I’ll be mindful of this. Keep em coming. Quality over quantity. This was great. Bumper music well I’m sure there’s better out there, but not worth my time to think of a better one so it’s good enough… I mean you could use anything and it would still be great!!

Thanks David. I have mixed feelings about the bumper music as well. Next one might be a different bumper music! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. We’re all just going one day at time and doing our best, I think.

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and experiences, Jack. This falls in line with ideas that have been heavy on my mind lately about how painful opposition leads to using authority with humility. I love this general idea of not just working through the tensions but using the experiences from them to fuel your progression.

And I like that you’re trying out new music. I like your old one, but we should all embrace change a bit more.

Mormon Discussion’s podcast production is certainly not connected to The Mormon Church aka The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It also is most assuredly not approved or endorsed by Intellectual Reserve, Inc or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

Any of the awesome content or the solid opinions expressed, implied or included in Mormon Discussion Inc’s awesome podcast lineup and production are solely those of Mormon Discussion Inc. and/or its program hosts and not those of Intellectual Reserve, Inc. or The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Mormon Discussion Inc is a 501(c)(3) and is in the arena of journalistic work and is part of a free press. A free press is fundamental to a democratic society. It seeks out and circulates news, information, ideas, comment and opinion and holds those in authority to account. The press provides the platform for a multiplicity of voices to be heard. At national, regional and local level, it is the public’s watchdog, activist and guardian as well as educator, entertainer and contemporary chronicler. Under the “fair use” defense, however, another author may make limited use of the original author’s work without asking permission. Fair use is based on the belief that the public is entitled to freely use portions of copyrighted materials for purposes of commentary and criticism.

The fair use privilege is perhaps the most significant limitation on a copyright owner’s exclusive rights.

Subject to some general limitations discussed later in this article, the following types of uses are usually deemed fair uses:

Criticism and commentary: for example, quoting or excerpting a work in a review or criticism for purposes of illustration or comment. A book reviewer would be permitted to quote passages from a book in a newspaper column, for example, as part of an examination of the book.

News reporting: such as summarizing an address or article, with brief quotations, in a news report. A journalist would be permitted to quote from a political speech’s text without the politician’s permission.

Research and scholarship: perhaps quoting a short passage in a scholarly, scientific, or technical work for illustration or clarification of the author’s observations. An art historian would be able to use an image of a painting in an academic article that analyzes the painting.

Nonprofit educational uses: for example, when teachers photocopy limited portions of written works for classroom use. An English teacher would be permitted to copy a few pages of a book to show to the class as part of a lesson plan.

Parody: that is, a work that ridicules another, usually well-known, work by imitating it in a comic way. A comedian could quote from a movie star’s speech in order to make fun of that star.
